RE:

Approval of Recommended Name of a Section of the Lindley Elementary School Property

As reported at the November 9, 2006 Board Meeting, County Director of Parks and Recreation, Roger Bardsley, on behalf of the Sunset Hills Neighborhood Association, and the surrounding community, has requested that a portion of the Lindley Elementary School property be named. 

The portion, in particular, is located in the northeast section of the Lindley property and has been left in a “natural” state.  This area is used by nearby residents for its walking trails and wildlife viewing.  In recent years, the area became overgrown and in 2005 a restoration effort began.  Now that it is near full restoration, the community would like to officially name this portion of the property.

Pursuant to our procedure on the naming of schools (FDCA-P), a nomination form and accompanying support documents were provided for review and consideration.

The recommended name was posted on the district website for a period of public comment and feedback. There were no comments received.

RECOMMENDATION:  Based on the recommendation of the community effort and in the absence of further public comment, the administration recommends the board approve the use of the name Lindley Natural Area.   If the name is approved, staff will contact the community representative to review the plans for any signage the community effort would provide.
